The first two volumes contain thematically linked but self-contained stories concerning Tomie - a beautiful young woman with the power to seduce and dominate any male, from small boys to elderly men. Later, the series leaves these characters behind and focuses on stand-alone gothic horror pieces.

you'll rarely find 'mainstream' horror stuff here. instead of scary, you'll get gross and creepy weird feelings, but not gore, I guess. Itou Junji is my #1 horror mangaka. His drawing itself is already creepy and most of the story come unexpectedly, well most of them have twisted end. I'm surprised many translator decided to do this series, and i really grateful for that. I love all of this. so far still good. it's worth reading for creepy stuff fans. I suggest you start with lovesick dead if you new for this stuff. It has less weird things. well, all my thought was already been described by whatnot. Maybe many Itou-sensei's fans have the same feelings

I was surprised no one has commented, then I will take the honor of first commenter, though it's not so honorable whatsoever, I'd still be happy to.Junji Ito is my favourite horror Mangaka. I have to say, his stories are more to the creepy rather than to scary side. I started out reading Uzumaki and since then I have been looking for more of his works. This manga collections were what I found, and boy was I glad there are so much that have been translated. His stories never bore me, seriously, I am always looking for another but it seems the scanlators are having a break or something.anyway, read it now because I'm sure you'll enjoy the creepiness of Ito Junji's worldI give this a 10
